Why a Minnesota woman canceled trip to Ebola zone
We will be featuring excerpts from MPR News' six new podcasts. Today, we hear a preview of this week's Counter Stories, which is a weekly discussion of how people of color view life in Minnesota.
This episode is hosted by MPR News Editor David Cazares and features regular panelists Luz Maria Frias, Don Eubanks and Hlee Lee. Mariama Kpaka Sengita of the St. Paul School District is this week's special guest. She planned to travel to her native Sierra Leone to help her father who has Ebola. But she's canceled her trip because she feared not being allowed to leave Africa for an extended period of time.
The full version of this episode comes out Friday.
